The Kodak route is probably the best to ensure fresh stock but dont expect a great deal. Right now a rep is offering me just slightly higher than student rates on 7230/5230. For 19' stock, dont expect less than about $140/roll delivered. I was informed from my rep that the days of deep discounts and comp stock are over. Kodak has to tighten their budget.

So if you need seriously deep discounts, go eBay or short ends/recans. If you can afford retail but expect a small discount, contact Kodak directly.
